Specific instructions are provided for Netlify/Decap CMS, Static CMS and Pages CMS. ## Migrating from Other Platforms Migrating from other CMS platforms to Sveltia CMS can vary in complexity depending on the source CMS. Below are guides for some of the more common platforms. ### Netlify CMS or Decap CMS Sveltia CMS is designed to be a direct [successor to Netlify CMS](/en/docs/successor-to-netlify-cms) (now Decap CMS). A migration from Netlify/Decap CMS to Sveltia CMS is intended to be as seamless as possible. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to migrate your existing setup to Sveltia CMS. * [Migrating from Netlify CMS or Decap CMS](/en/docs/migration/netlify-decap-cms) Our [Showcase](/en/showcase) also features various sites that have been migrated from Netlify CMS and Decap CMS. Check out these examples to see how other users have successfully transitioned to Sveltia CMS. * [Examples of sites migrated from Netlify CMS](/en/showcase?migrated-from=netlify-cms) * [Examples of sites migrated from Decap CMS](/en/showcase?migrated-from=decap-cms) ### Static CMS Static CMS was a community fork of Netlify CMS that introduced several unique features. While we don’t have a full migration guide for Static CMS, many of the concepts and configurations are similar to those in Netlify CMS. We have documented some of the key differences and considerations when migrating from Static CMS to Sveltia CMS. * [Migrating from Static CMS](/en/docs/migration/static-cms) * [Examples of sites migrated from Static CMS](/en/showcase?migrated-from=static-cms) ### Pages CMS Pages CMS was also inspired by Netlify CMS and shares similar concepts and configurations. Sveltia CMS offers more features, flexibility, and frequent releases than Pages CMS, but a hosted solution is not yet available. Our migration guide explains the differences between the two platforms and how to convert a Pages CMS configuration file to the Sveltia CMS format. * [Migrating from Pages CMS](/en/docs/migration/pages-cms) * [Examples of sites migrated from Pages CMS](/en/showcase?migrated-from=pages-cms) ### Other Headless CMSs We’ll continue to expand our migration resources to cover popular headless CMS platforms. If you are using a different CMS and are interested in migrating to Sveltia CMS, check back here for future migration guides or just look at the [Start Guide](/en/docs/start) to get started. If your current CMS is Git-based, the migration process should be relatively straightforward. Typically, you will need to configure your Sveltia CMS setup to match your existing content structure. See our [Showcase](/en/showcase) for examples of sites that have successfully migrated from other headless CMS platforms to Sveltia CMS. * [Examples of sites migrated from TinaCMS](/en/showcase?migrated-from=tinacms) * [Examples of sites migrated from Keystatic](/en/showcase?migrated-from=keystatic) ### Traditional CMSs More and more users are choosing to switch from traditional CMS platforms, especially WordPress, to static sites powered by Sveltia CMS. This approach is often preferred by small site owners and developers because of its cost-effectiveness, performance, flexibility and security benefits. The migration process involves exporting content as static files, typically in Markdown format, and creating a new site from scratch using your preferred framework. Our [Start Guide](/en/docs/start) can help you get started with Sveltia CMS. Our [Showcase](/en/showcase) also features various sites that have been migrated from WordPress and other platforms, demonstrating the possibilities and benefits of using Sveltia CMS. * [Examples of sites migrated from WordPress](/en/showcase?migrated-from=wordpress) * [Examples of sites migrated from Joomla](/en/showcase?migrated-from=joomla) * [Examples of sites migrated from Drupal](/en/showcase?migrated-from=drupal) * [Examples of sites migrated from Ghost](/en/showcase?migrated-from=ghost) ### Website Builders Users are also migrating from website builders like Wix and Squarespace to Sveltia CMS. The migration process is similar to that of traditional CMS platforms, involving exporting content and creating a new site with Sveltia CMS. See our [Showcase](/en/showcase) for examples of sites that have successfully migrated from these website builders to Sveltia CMS. * [Examples of sites migrated from Wix](/en/showcase?migrated-from=wix) * [Examples of sites migrated from Squarespace](/en/showcase?migrated-from=squarespace) * [Examples of sites migrated from GoDaddy Website Builder](/en/showcase?migrated-from=godaddy) * [Examples of sites migrated from Google Sites](/en/showcase?migrated-from=google-sites) * [Examples of sites migrated from Webflow](/en/showcase?migrated-from=webflow) * [Examples of sites migrated from Weebly](/en/showcase?migrated-from=weebly) ## Migrating from Earlier Versions of Sveltia CMS See the detailed migration instructions here: * [Migrating from Earlier Versions of Sveltia CMS](/en/docs/migration/earlier-versions)
